AND
WE HEREBY SOLEMNLY pledge our allegiance to the said Provisional Government and through it
to the Dominion of India and call upon all the subjects of Junagadh State wherever
resident to carry out loyally the orders and directions of the said Provisional
Government.

The Provisional Government of Junagadh
moved to Saurashtra and took possession of the Junagadh House at Rajkot. Young men from
all over Saurashtra flocked to its banner of freedom. Large sums of money flowed in;
volunteers were armed and trained. On the Dussehra Day, the 'Day of Victory'-October 24,
1947-the volunteers of the Provisional Government began their operations. People rose
against the Nawab's rule in several parts of Junagadh.
